Secrets of Yuqing Palace

As soon as Nanny Sun finished speaking, Xia He came forward to report that Concubine Mu from the Fourth Prince's backyard had arrived.

Wanyu first gave a wink to Yucui beside her, and after seeing her quietly leave, Wanyu stood up and walked to the door of the main hall to greet her second sister.

"Your servant greets the Crown Princess."

Wanyu frowned slightly when she saw her second sister, whose face was still a little pale, but she reached out her hand immediately and pulled the person up herself.

"Please stand up quickly, Concubine Mu."

After everyone got up, she looked at Nanny Sun and the others.

"I'm going to talk to Concubine Mu for a while, you guys go wait outside."

"If the old lady and the two wives of the Guarjia Mansion arrive, please come and report in advance."

"Yes." Everyone saluted.

After making sure that everyone had left, Wanyu took her second sister and sat down on the couch in the west room.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

"And what happened to the last time you mentioned arranging a royal physician?"

"Is there something wrong with your body?"

Wanlin sighed first, then spoke.

"You got it right?" Wanyu was confused. "What do you mean?"

Wanlin told her that after returning to the Fourth Prince's backyard a few days ago, she asked Li Jia Ma to recheck the places she mentioned as places where dirt and filth could easily hide.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Li Jia actually discovered that there was something wrong with the bed she slept on!

Wanyu also looked horrified.

She quickly looked at her second sister carefully and asked, "Sister, is there anything wrong with your health?"

Wanlin shook her head.

Wanyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Wanlin said quietly, "I don't know either."

"What?!" Wanyu asked anxiously, "Didn't you ask the imperial physician to see you?"

Wanlin sighed again and said, "The one who took our pulse earlier was the Fourth Master's trusted imperial physician, Wei Qian from the Imperial Hospital."

"But both Madam Li Jia and I now feel that there is something wrong with this imperial physician."

"So I didn't ask the imperial physician to see me."

Wanyu frowned, "What's the problem?"

"Could it be Fourth Brother?"

Wanlin shook her head and explained, "It has nothing to do with the Fourth Master."

"I slept in that bed for over a year, and not only was there no sign of pregnancy, but the imperial physician never mentioned any traces of musk in my body."

"Aunt Li Jia and I both feel something is wrong!"

Wanyu suddenly realized.

"So you asked Yu Cui to let me arrange a trusted imperial physician for you in advance, just to check if you have musk in your body?"

Wanlin nodded heavily.

"Indeed."

She whispered, "Third sister, I suspect someone is targeting the Fourth Master's backyard."

"Even the Fourth Master's trusted imperial physician is no longer trustworthy. Now I can only ask you for help."

Wanyu asked anxiously, "Has Sister checked it herself? Is there anyone who suspects anything?"

Wanlin shook her head and sighed.

"Sister, we're short-handed here, and since I don't know who's the most suspicious and can't figure things out, I had to ask my younger sister for help."

Wanyu asked, "Could it be the Fourth Lady?"

"After all, she married the Fourth Prince a year earlier than you, so she should still have some people on her side."

"Plus, since Ulanara is in the harem, she should have some connections. It's not impossible for her."

Wanlin shook her head.

"Fujin's place was checked many times when I first married into the Fourth Prince's backyard."

"She didn't have any chance to make a move."

"Fourth Prince has a relatively strict control over the backyard. Previously, the backyard was managed by Fourth Prince's nanny, Tong."

"Fu Jin didn't hold power for long. It was only after I married the Fourth Prince that the Fourth Prince handed over the power of the backyard to Fu Jin."

"I think the Fourth Master is worried that because of me, Fu Jin's position in the harem will be unstable and the wives and concubines will be at odds, so he decided to hand over the power of the household to her."

"And it's only given to the backyard. The front yard lady can't get her hands on it."

"I don't think a concubine like her has the ability to bypass the Fourth Master and create such a big obstacle for me."

Wanyu thought about her second sister's analysis and felt that what she said made sense.

Moreover, the second sister herself said that she had checked several times, so it should definitely not be the Fourth Lady's fault.

Moreover, she felt deeply that with her second sister, the former popular candidate for the Crown Princess, standing in the Fourth Prince's backyard, the Fourth Prince's wife must be on edge and worried all day long.

My second sister is outstanding in every aspect!

In terms of etiquette, manners, temperament, and household management, she was carefully trained for ten years to meet the standards of a Crown Princess.

Moreover, before the election, the second sister was often summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor for questioning, which was equivalent to a constant test.

But the second sister has always performed well, otherwise she would not have been the candidate for the Crown Princess in the previous life.

And what about the Fourth Lady?

She was just an ordinary wife of a prince, and she was only a wife for less than three years.

Compared with her second sister, who has a dignified demeanor and behaves in a way that is ingrained in her, she is completely different.

I believe that as long as the second sister serves as a role model, the Fourth Lady will be trembling with fear and dare not make any mistakes.

Otherwise, countless people would compare her with her second sister.

Especially the Fourth Master, the person by my side!

Any mistake she makes will be magnified.

It might even make her feel a sense of crisis about her unstable position.

Therefore, before something happens that goes against her real interests, the Fourth Lady should not dare to take risks.

She shared her thoughts with Wanlin.

Wanlin felt a little embarrassed that her third sister spoke so highly of her.

But it is undeniable that the third sister's analysis makes sense.

Every time he went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to the wife, the wife always looked gentle, proper and well-behaved, and every move seemed to have been measured with a ruler.

She also often copied scriptures and worshipped Buddha, binding herself on a lotus platform, as if she had really become a Buddha statue.

She could sense the tension in Fu Jin.

But she thought that Fu Jin was a person who liked to worship and believe in Buddhism, so she restrained herself in this way.

I didn't expect it was because of me?

Wanlin smiled and said, "Ah~ I just want to live my life well now."

"It's best to get pregnant soon and give birth to the baby."

"As for the Fourth Lady, as long as she doesn't attack me, I won't do anything to her."

Wanyu reminded her, "Sister, if you get pregnant and have a child, it will be a threat to her."

"You still need to be more cautious in the future."

Wanlin nodded, "Sister, I understand."

"As for this matter, I'll have to trouble my younger sister to check it out for me."

Wanyu held her sister's hands with both hands and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will arrange it!"

"And I've just sent for the imperial physician, Cui Guangbai from the Imperial Hospital."

"Don't worry about this Imperial Doctor Cui. He's my new confidant from the Imperial Hospital."

"He has no one behind him. Now he only has me as his master, and no one knows about it. You can use him with confidence!"

Wanlin asked with concern, "You won over your confidant so quickly?"

"Can this imperial physician be trusted? Could he be someone else's spy?"

Because even the Fourth Prince's trusted imperial physician could be bribed, she is now beginning to feel a bit paranoid.

Wanyu shook her head affirmatively, "No."

She thought about it and told her second sister the reason.

"Second sister, forget what you heard today and don't spread it out."

Seeing her sister's serious expression, Wanlin knew that it must be another palace secret.

She nodded seriously.

Wanyu whispered, "The Eighth Prince's injury, which would affect his offspring, was diagnosed by this Imperial Physician Cui."

"Imperial Physician Cui is worried that if the Eighth Prince wants to silence us in the future and no one protects him, his wife and children will all suffer misfortune."

"So after I entered the palace, I decided to join my forces."

Wanlin widened her eyes.

In disbelief, she wrote the number "eight" on the table and stared at Wanyu.

"Is this true what you said?"

Wanyu nodded seriously.

Wanlin murmured, "No wonder... No wonder..."

She remembered that before her death in her previous life, the eighth prince Yinsi also had only one son and one daughter.

Although both of them had few children, he was different from the fourth prince Yinzhen.

Yinzhen had many children, but few survived.
